To make a delicious batch of Spicy Roasted Brussels Sprouts, you need:
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh Brussels sprouts (smaller ones tend to be sweeter)
- 1/2 cup good quality, extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup raw honey from Hawaii
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (more if you like your food extra spicy)
- Freshly ground black pepper and salt, to taste
Directions:
- Wash the Brussels sprouts well, and then use a sharp knife to cut away their bases. Cut each sprout in half. If working with large Brussels sprouts, you may want to cut them in quarters.
- Combine the olive oil, vinegar, honey, and Sriracha sauce in a mixing bowl. Using a whisk, stir until the ingredients are uniformly combined.
- Add the Brussels sprouts to the vinegar mixture, and stir to coat them evenly.
- Pour the sprouts onto a baking sheet, and add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the remaining vinegar mixture over the sprouts.
- Roast the sprouts in a 400 degree F oven for approximately 20 – 30 minutes. They’re finished roasting when they are browned and caramelized. Serve while warm.
